Do your students need help to understand the scientific method? How can we help them understand what makes for good scientific evidence and what doesn’t? How can we help student understand scientific validity? How might we help our students to think more like scientists? This game is here to help!
Students get points for selecting the most valid method for a provided hypothesis. Each hypothesis is based on real scientific study or a published scientific journal article. Articles were found based on biology and ecology topics that a group of high school students identified as areas they are interested in.
